Case Study – Trimex Blades
Project: Concrete Wall Track Sawing
Location: Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Industry: Concrete Drilling & Cutting
National Drilling Services Ltd were approached to undertake a sizeable electric wall sawing project, which had to be carried out under a tight time scale restriction to refurbish The Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
The Project
- Our objective was to cut into metre square sections up to a depth of 400mm using 3 phase electric track saws to cut internal walls inside the stadium.
- The operators at NDS were cutting general reinforced concrete with rebar.
- Speed of cut, long life and reliability were major factors in choosing the correct Diamond Blade and specification for the wall sawing due to the time pressure.
The Solution
Diaquip recommended the Trimex Elite 1000 Diamond Track Saw Blade (600mm and 1200mm Ø) as the correct specification for this project.
The Trimex Elite is our flagship innovative, high-specification Diamond Blade that has been described as a ‘game changer’ in diamond blade technology by floor and wall saw operators who demand better speed, life and reliability. We have further improved the Trimex Blade to develop Trimex Elite – with Fusion Tech™.
National Drilling Services Ltd and it’s operators were delighted with the speed, life, performance and results of using the Trimex Elite Track
saw blade.
We used the Trimex Elite and have found it a great diamond blade to work with. It is fast and hard wearing – which saves our operators time and hassle, and it ensures we do a professional job every time

Case Study – Robotic Demolition
The Company: North Bank Demolition
Location: Russell’s Construction Site
The Project
Project: National Drilling Services were engaged on this building site in central Manchester to take down a concrete plant room and associated floors and columns. We used a Brokk 160 robotic demolition machine with a hydraulic crushing attachment to reduce noise levels.
